The Capitol Steps
Will America survive the election? Will politics survive The Capitol Steps? No matter who or what is in the headlines, you can bet The Capitol Steps will tackle both sides of the political spectrum and all things equally foolish. What more would you expect from the group that puts the “mock” in Democracy?
We are sad to announce that the Capitol Steps are planning to shut down. Like many in the entertainment business, we simply weren‘t built to survive going a year or more without live performances.
On the bright side, when we first started as a Senate office Christmas party, we never imagined we would travel the country and perform for 39 years! It’s been a fun ride!
For now, we will keep our office open and continue to sell our CDs on our web site. We‘ve got lots! Grab them while you can!
So thank you to all the NPR stations who have played our specials, and all the agents, venues and companies who have booked us over the years.
Thank you to all the awesome performers who learned songs on frighteningly short notice and brought their hilarious characters to the stage. Thanks to the road crew who made us sound good, and the pianists who changed keys and followed our performers without missing a beat.
And – most importantly – thank you to all our fans who have bought tickets to our show. You kept us going all these years!
